Finding a good place to hunt deer may be the single most important thing you can do to be successful, second only to being stealthy. For new hunters I recommend pursuing doe instead of bucks. The tactics are simpler, the chances of success are higher, and it is just an easier entry point. If you can take a buck, then great, but I would save that pursuit until after you get your feet wet if you are able. In much of the country you can get a doe tag, and often doe season is less crowded, so the hunting is easier too.
